OLIVIERS 2011: Three Hours Until The Ceremony Begins!

The red carpet is filling up with the press pack as the Olivier Awards 2011 draws ever nearer.

The stars of the West End are making their way to Drury Lane - and the ones who aren't are sending their best wishes to their colleagues.

John Owen Jones, though, is still looking for that television so he can watch the rugby... "Still haven't found a TV backstage!" He's sharing a dressing room at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane with Ramin Karimloo, Adrian Lester and Michael Xavier, according to his latest twitpic.

Gemma Sutton, soon to be seen in The Kissing Dance (and check back here for an exclusive competition tomorrow), is preparing to perform: "Into the Woods I go.....and onto the stage at Olivier Awards. Look out for a lot of wool and green hair rollers. VERY excited!"

And her colleague (and friend of BWW:UK) Gina Beck says: "Wishing all nominees and performers the very best of luck for tonight. #oliviers"

But will Danielle Hope, Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz, make it in time? "Very excited for @olivierawards tonight congrats to all nominees. Show doesn't come down till 5:30 so it's gonna be a bit of a race!"

Mark Evans, Fiyero in Wicked, tweeted: "Good luck to all nominees at the Olivier Awards this evening! And to everyone performing there- have a ball! Break legs!"

Director Damian Sandys added: "Masses of love & luck to friends, work colleagues and idols nominated for @OlivierAwards! Very glad your fantastic work is being recognised."

Debbie Kurup, seen last year in Sister Act, tweeted: "Heading to MOVE IT at Kensington Olympia. Then back to catch the Olivier's tonight !! Good luck to all!"
